Along with being an actress, lifestyle blogger, and all-around ageless bohemian goddess, Rachel True, who you absolutely remember from The Craft, also happens to be a tarot card reader. This week, an LA Weekly writer published her account of going to Echo Park's House of Intuition [1] with a friend who was going through a breakup; the two were offered a tarot reading and were surprised (and delighted) to find none other than teen witch Rochelle Zimmerman holding the deck [2].
Now 50 years old (and looking exactly the same as she did in the movie, which came out two decades ago [3] — casual), Rachel has apparently been interested in magic and healing energy since way before playing Rochelle. "The [tarot] cards . . . help me articulate the situation; and then I use my intuition to kind of springboard off of that," she said. "I find that a lot of people have a misconception that there is something heavy or dark about it. And honestly it is just cards with archetypes on them," she explained. "The tricky thing that I think people miss is the cards aren't magic, what they do is: they help you — they hopefully help you — lock into your own intuition."
More good news: Rachel is down for a reboot [4] of the cult film — which was first announced back in 2015 [5] — but she thinks it would be better with adult witches rather than teens. "Imagine seeing Fairuza [Balk]'s character as an adult — f*cking fascinating," she said, adding, "But that's also because I am my age." Now if you'll excuse us, we're off to play "Light as a feather, stiff as a board."
